Back by popular demand, the small group “Insight Labs” are designed to enable you to dig deeper into some of the most provocative business challenges. We heard your feedback and these sessions will be even more interactive, allowing for structured client-to-client conversations and brainstorming. Each session will rotate so all attendees can benefit from the content presented.

A trade-off has existed in the marketplace between inventory quality and efficient targeting. The divide was perpetuated by negative consumer experiences caused by two factors: real time bidding and publishers reserving the best inventory to maintain margins. In this Insight Lab, learn how data and technology have evolved to enable a mutually beneficial relationship between advertisers and publishers that also improves the consumer experience.

We know that today social is a pay-to-play world, but in this session we’re going to show you WHY it pays to play. As media changes, especially social media, new consumer behaviors emerge, and thus marketers need to adapt by evolving our calls to action and our metrics of success. In this Insight Lab, learn how to keep up with the 300+ annual changes in the social space, how to beat ‘shiny new object syndrome,’ and how to be as nimble as your audience.

Brands are becoming publishers, and content marketing is one of the fastest growing elements of contemporary enterprise digital strategy. With its increase in prominence comes a greater demand to better understand how content drives business objectives at different levels. This Insight Lab will show you how to not only measure the ROI of content marketing, but how to set your program up strategically in the first place. It’s not just about counting transactions, but also understanding how content marketing contributes to bottom-line ROI across the full customer journey. Learn about the process and success that comes from applying performance metrics to “upper funnel” branding efforts.

Are you ready for the next wave of disruptive marketing? As consumers become more reliant on voice-powered home devices and personal digital assistants to manage their worlds, marketers will need to react to these new customer entry points. Brands need to pivot their marketing efforts away from simply driving conversions and begin building content to help influence and simplify life management. In this Insight Lab you’ll learn how to successfully reach consumers in this new era of conversational interaction and marketing to the machine.

It’s easy to sell the value of maintaining local search listings—that’s housekeeping, and brands can readily find budget for it. However, it’s hard to prioritize fragmented local search budgets without cross-channel measurement, especially if key stakeholders aren’t incentivized to common business goals. Local search isn’t a separate entry point, or a separate channel—it’s a behavior. Future success in Local Search depends on understanding consumer behavior and user intent. Join us to discuss how to get local search right in 2017 and beyond.

Our world is incredibly complex; astonishing amounts of data are flowing all around us.

In this Insight Lab, we will review three key data ecosystem concepts that will fuel how your organization gets smarter, help deliver against your measurement strategy and maximize your advertising dollars: data aggregation, connectivity and accessibility.
